Brasileirinho

 

USA 2005, 90 minutes
Dir. Mika Kaurismaki
In Portuguese with English subtitles
Genres: Documentary, Music

 

Aroview: Choro is often seen as the Brazilian equivalent of improvisatory jazz, and serves as the foundation for such unique styles like samba and bossa nova in this documentary tracing its musical roots.

From its unique blending of European, African, and native Indian influences, to its eventual transformation into world-famous genres, dir. Mika Kaurismaki, forms a companion piece to brother Aki’s THE SOUND OF BRAZIL. Featuring performances by many of the genre’s key figures within a broad historical context, this will be of particular interest to fans of the Latin American sound.
